Before we go off in the direction of defending these parents, shouldn't we first find out in some detail how it happened that this family came to the attention of LA County social workers in the first place?

The plain fact is, home-schooling had nothing to do with this. If a parent is going to abuse a kid, they'll do it whether the kid goes to public school or is home-schooled.

Address the physical abuse, if applicable. The judge went off half-cocked and blamed home-schooling. His ruling, unless it is overturned, affects ALL parents who would like to home-school, not just this family.

Frankly, this judge doesn't belong on the bench.

I am curious to know who appointed this judge.
